Classic Almond Pudding is a timeless dessert that combines the delicate flavor of almonds with a creamy, smooth texture. This comforting treat is perfect for any occasion, whether enjoyed after dinner or served at a gathering. The subtle nuttiness of almond extract gives this pudding a distinctive taste that will delight your palate.
With its ease of preparation, you can whip up this delightful dessert in no time. The pudding can be served warm or chilled, offering versatility based on your preference. Garnish it with fresh fruits, a sprinkle of toasted almonds, or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate its presentation.
This dish not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also brings a touch of elegance to your dessert table, making it a favorite among both family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped toasted almonds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will help prevent lumps from forming when the liquid is added.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring that the cornstarch dissolves completely. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble.
- Once the pudding has reached the desired thickness, remove it from heat and stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract. These extracts will infuse the pudding with a rich almond flavor.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, smoothing the tops if desired. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped toasted almonds if desired. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the almond flavor, making the dessert even more enjoyable.
Extra Tips:
For a deeper almond flavor, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk. You can also experiment with different toppings like fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can stir in a bit of whipped cream just before serving. This pudding can be made a day in advance, making it a great option for entertaining or meal prep.
Enjoy your classic almond pudding!
